Im sorry... I know everyone has probably heard this from every new mom! But I have THE Cutest stinkin baby in the WHOLE UniVeRSe!!!!! I can't get enough of her! I got bored the today so I took some pictures so that the family could see how cute she is growing up to be!
Riley is growing so fast! she can sit up on her own but only for like 30 seconds max! She likes to "talk" all the time! And when I say talk I really mean scream! she is trying really hard to crawl... so not too much longer we are going to have to baby proof our house from a little girl on the move!
I know I say it all the time! But I love being a mom! I honestly don't think that there is any greater joy than that that comes from being a mom! I was cleaning my moms house yesterday and I was washing down the bathroom counter when I started thinking I should go check on Riley who was sleeping at the time! And then I thought, wait... do I really have a baby??? that is mine all mine!!??? I like had this flash back of being in Junior high and high school and all the saturdays I would spend cleaning my (parents) house and I would just think about being married and being a mom and having my own baby, and how I couldn't wait for it all to happen. All I have EVER wanted and dreamed of is marrying the perfect guy and especially being a mom!! I would always day dream about what it would be like! And how much fun I was going to have!! And then as I thought about checking on Riley I just got this huge smile from inside that I had a better life than I used to day dream about. I love my husband more than I could have dreamed about and I love being a mom to the most adorable little girl... I couldn't even make up in my mind when I was a teenager a baby that is as cute and wonderful as Riley!
Its a funny thing they say about Love.... And they all say, I'm sure you have all heard it... They say when your engaged.... "You are going to love your spouse more than life itself, more than anything!" and you always are like Ya i know!! And you think you know the kind of love they are talking about.... and then you get married, and you go through situations and disagreements and fun memories and EVERYTHING that goes along with marriage... and I think... MAN!! I really had no clue what people were talking about when they said that because I love Nate more than I could ever expain to him or myself! Its like the most perfect love you can imagine!! And then........ you find out your pregnant! AND EVERYONE tells you... "You think you know what love is now, but wait till you see that baby for the first time, your heart is going to grow a million times bigger, and you are going to love that baby SOOOOO much" And yet again, I would say " I totally know what you mean and I can't wait!!!" And then the day comes, after 9 months of discomfort, and you see that baby! and automatically your heart aches of love, becuase its almost so much love that its emotional, and spiritual, and pure. Its the greatest Love of all. Its so pure and so real. Ha im making myself cry here just thinking about all the love I have in my heart!! I love my little family with my whole being. And I can't wait till it gets bigger and bigger, so my love can just get that much bigger!!!
